So every time I try to make deviled eggs I end up making egg salad 'cause I can't get the shell off the damn hardboiled egg without tearing it to shreds. I'm wondering if I take a sharp knie and samurai the hardboiled eggs in half before I try to peel them will work out better.

I hope that the world turns, and things get better. But what I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you that, even though I do not know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you, I love you. With all my heart, I love you. - V for Vendetta

That didn't work either. Fuck it. Egg salad it is.

The only other thing I can suggest is to buy really cheap eggs.

Whenever I do the deviled egg thing (personally I hate them, but everyone else loves them) I buy a couple dozen of the cheapest eggs I can, a month or more before I intend to make it. They just hang out in the garage fridge forever.

I might have a couple that are diffucult to peel, but most are easy.

My hubby's fingers are pretty fat too. Better suited for other stuff

Girly, I have these plastic things. You crack open the egg carefully and pour the egg whites into the right hole, then carefully pour the yolk into another hole. Then you have all these little plastic eggs. You boil them just like you would regular boiled eggs. When you open them you have 2 perfect halves for deviled eggs and 1 yolk. I got them from a friend but I'm sure you could find something like it somewhere.

Swing with me a while, we can listen to the birds call, we can keep each other warm.
Swing with me forever, we can count up every flower, we can weather every storm.
